SOLUTION: "Six times the sum of a number and -15 is 76 more than four times the number. Find the number." I'm not sure how to solve this, I think the equation for it might be (-15+x)6=(x)

Question 189176: "Six times the sum of a number and -15 is 76 more than four times the number. Find the number."
I'm not sure how to solve this, I think the equation for it might be (-15+x)6=(x)4+76. But I'm not sure and even if it is I'm still confused on how to solve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The equation is correct.
--------
(-15+x)6=(x)4+76
-90 + 6x = 4x + 76
2x = 166
x = 83
